Made from the Sicilian native white grape variety, Catarratto, this is a vibrant dry white with good fruit richness and intensity rounded by a touch of oak. Enough refreshing acidity, too, to suit a salade niçoise.

A richly textured wine from Galicia's Rias Baixas region on Spain's Atlantic coast, this distinctive, classy dry white boasts fresh floral aromas and peachy stonefruit flavours. With richness balanced by crisp acidity, it's made for seafood.
